Interruption

Ven could see that Aqua and Terra were nervous. Why wouldn't they be? Today is the test that will determine if his friends would become Keyblade masters.

"Begin!" Master Eraqus said. Aqua and Terra started to fight each other. Terra made a large arc with his Keyblade that would have caused serious damage. Aqua stopped it short with her Keyblade. The other boy jumped back to avoid a sweep from the other Keyblade. There was the usual clang of metal against metal when a dark portal appeared.

"Stop!" Aqua, Terra, and Ven looked at their master. It was highly unusual for a test to be stopped short. Then they looked to the direction of where he was pointing. A hooded figure stepped out of the portal. They couldn't see the face under the shadows of the hood. He was about Ven's height and wore a black coat. They saw him look around. The boy saw Master Xehanort and made a Keyblade appear. The figure started to charge at the master. Master Eraqus blocked the attack that was about to be laid on the other master. The boy jumped back. He was now in the middle of the small group.

"Why? Why are you protecting him?" the boy shouted. He heard a small gasp and he knew why. He sounded like Ven.

"Why are you attacking Master Xehanort? What did he do to you?" Master Eraqus calmly asked the boy. The hooded figure made a sweep with his Keyblade.

"Everything! He was the one that made the Unverse come here! He gave hearts to the Heartless! The one that made Nobodies exist! He remembered the Forgottens! It was him that made me live and suffer!" the boy let his rage take over and he threw his Keyblade across the room towards the old man. Master Eraqus parried the blow and the blade clattered on the ground, away from the boy's reach. He then rushed to the boy and attacked him with his own Keyblade. The boy fell, unconscious after receiving the blow. The three apprentices were surprised at the turn of events.

"I'm sorry, Aqua, Terra," Eraqus said. "Your test would have to continue some other time. Help me get this boy into a room."

…

I groaned. My head still ached from the blow Eraqus gave me. I felt a burning hatred. Why did he protect that lowlife? Couldn't he see that Xehanort is the key to endless fighting and destruction? I looked around to survey my surroundings. I was in a bed that was in a plain, but comforting looking room. I turned to look at the door when I heard a knock. The door opened to reveal a girl. She was taller than me and had short blue hair. She was also carrying a bowl of water and a cloth.

"Hello," she smiled, "I thought you might be awake by now. We thought it would be more comfortable if you still had your hood on."

"Thank goodness for that," I thought, "what would they do if they saw that I look like Ven?"

"Master didn't mean to hurt you that hard," she placed the bowl on a nightstand. "But you were threatening a life of a Keyblade master." The girl started to wet the cloth. "Now… where's that injury?" Suddenly, I was afraid. I started to move away from her, but a throbbing on my head stopped me.

"Please don't move. I'm trying to help," she assured me. I said nothing, looking out the window. I saw Terra teaching Ven some sword moves. "Can you take off your hood so I can treat your injury?" she asked me. I hesitated, looking in her blue eyes. Ever so reluctantly, I took of my hood. I heard her gasp, dropping the wet cloth.

"I know, I look like Ven," I said, looking on the quilt. I looked at her. I could see the shock on her face.

"Wait here," she went out the door. I sighed.

"As if I had anyway to go," I said to myself. Aqua soon came back with Master Eraqus. Following them were Terra and Ven. "Done with practicing," I figured. Eraqus looked at me to Ven, and back to me.

"Whoa! You look exactly like Ven," Terra was surprised.

I looked at the older boy, "So what if I do, Terra?"

"Can you tell me your name?" Eraqus asked me. I looked away towards the window. Then I had an idea…

"Your injuries haven't healed properly!" Aqua cried from the window. I had escaped from the window and jumped down. I looked back up at the window, a sharp pain cruising up my back to my neck. The throbbing on my head didn't help me at all.

"Like I care, Aqua!" I called back to her.

"Quick! After him!" I heard Master Eraqus's faint voice as I ran to the courts. I was so close to my goal when Ven stopped me, Keyblade in hand.

"One question," he said firmly. I nodded. "Why do you look like me?"

"…"

"Answer!" he swung his Keyblade at me. I did three back-flips, each one sending a course of pain through my body. I made my own Keyblade appear. I threw my Keyblade, targeting Ven. He would have been in serious pain if Terra didn't stop the attack. My Keyblade clattered on the ground, disappearing.

"No weapon," Terra said pointing his Keyblade at me.

"Or so you think," I said. I suddenly have two new Keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion. I charged at them, dragging my weapons on the ground. Sparks started to fly off the ground. I made wide arcs with both of my weapons. Ven and Terra had no choice but to defend.

"Stop!" I stopped my assault to look at the source of the voice. It was Aqua with her own Keyblade.

"I'll take all three of you on!" I threw Oathkeeper towards Aqua. She blocked it, only to see that I was onto her. I held her down, Oblivion to her neck.

"You wouldn't dare," Ven gasped.

I shook my head, "I would if she was my target." I let her go, only to scream in pain. Terra had a sneak attack on one of my old injuries, one from the Organization. I fainted from all the pain.

…

"He was one gutsy fighter," Ven said to his friends. The boy was taken back to his room. Master Eraqus made sure there was no escape for the mysterious boy.

"Master didn't hurt him that bad," Aqua was saying, "how could he have screamed in pain like that when you hit him?" Terra shrugged.

"What I want to know is that how come he has at least three Keyblades?" he wondered. Ven and Aqua murmured in agreement.

"One thing for sure," Ven claimed, "he seems set on something here."

"You're right."

"Master!" the three apprentices snapped into attention for their teacher.

"How is he?" Aqua asked with concern.

"He's going to be fine," Eraqus assured her. "It seems to me that he knows about you three."

"He does?" Terra asked. Eraqus nodded his head.

"The boy knew that he looked like Ven and said your names. He seems to be very angry at Master Xehanort and wants to destroy him."

"Why?" Ven pondered.

"I'm not sure on that fact, Ven. The question is what should we do with him? Should we just send him away to go back to his home?" the master asked his students.

"Maybe he should become an apprentice here," Aqua suggested. "He showed some potential to becoming a Keyblade master."

"I agree with you, Aqua," Eraqus nodded. "All we need now is his name." With that, the master left the room.

"The more, the merrier. Huh, Aqua?" Terra teased.
